Red Tiger Gaming Casino Software Guide

Just two years old, the software developer has already completed major integrations with the likes of PokerStars, GVC, Rank and Vera&amp;amp;amp;amp; John. Its biggest hits to date are Arcade Bomb and Lucky Wizard, which come with innovative daily and ceiling jackpots.

Intro﻿

Red Tiger Gaming is one of the hottest online casino developers around. At just three years old, the company has already earned a fierce reputation for launching games that set the standard for graphics, maths, mechanics and features. It has completed integrations with several tier-one operators – including PokerStars, Paddy Power, and Betfair – as well as lifestyle brands like Guts, Rizk, and Thrills.

The company was founded in 2014 by a small senior management team who previously built development studio Cayetano Gaming, which was sold to Paddy Power in 2011. Software proven, the team returned to the fold with Red Tiger Gaming just three years later with the aim of taking the market by storm. And that they have done, with players hungry for their company’s games.

Red Tiger is headquartered on the Isle of Man, and holds licences with the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission as well as the Gambling Commission. It employs a growing team of diligent mathematicians, graphic designers, software developers, audio engineers, gambling experts, QAs, account managers and secret magicians whose unified aim is to deliver the best slots experience to players.

The developer’s portfolio currently stands at 60+ slots and table games, with Arcade Bomb, Lucky Wizard, and Totem Lightning among its most popular titles. Each is available with Red Tiger’s innovative Daily and Ceiling Jackpots – the former must pay out before a pre-set time each day, and the latter before a pre-set amount is reached. Players love them, as they significantly boost anticipation and excitement.

Red Tiger really understands what players are looking for in a game, and employs some of the brightest minds and creative talents in the industry to ensure it delivers the best possible experience to those spinning the reels on its growing roster of award-winning slots.

Products

Red Tiger Gaming has built a solid game portfolio in a little over three years; it boasts more than 60 titles in total and plans to double that number over the next two to three years. It focuses mainly on slots, but does offer a handful of table games including blackjack, European roulette and baccarat. It has taken a quality over quantity approach, offering players a sleek and sophisticated experience.

Games are developed in HTML5, and boast beautifully rendered 2D and 3D graphics that deliver immersive and powerful visuals. Sound is crisp, clear, and authentic, while complex math models and state-of-the-art mechanics lead to outstanding performance under the hood. The developer has also launched innovative products and features, such as Daily Jackpots and Smart Spins (more below).

Its games are launched simultaneously across desktop and mobile channels, with flawless quality regardless of device and operating system. Some of its games are also available on land-based betting terminals; the developer recently signed a deal with Coral to roll out top-performing slot, Dragon’s Luck, across the operator’s retail betting shops up and down the UK.

Its most popular titles to date include Arcade Bomb, the aforementioned Dragon’s Luck, and Totem Lightning, which has been nominated for Game of the Year at the EGR Operator Awards 2017. Its games offer players something a bit different; Arcade Bomb, for example, does not have any bonus rounds, instead it uses Reel Bombs to drive engagement and excitement.

Reel Bombs are special symbols that constantly land during gameplay. Bombs come in four different colours; when each bomb lands, it has a number that reduces with every spin. When the count hits zero, the bomb explodes, spreading identical regular symbols across its field of coverage. The differently coloured bombs have different blast zones, but when one explodes it can set off a chain reaction.

All Red Tiger games can be hooked up to its Daily and Ceiling Jackpots, which offer large progressive prize pools that must pay out before a predetermined time of day, or prior to a certain amount being reached.

Innovations

Red Tiger has innovation in its blood, and was established with the sole purpose of shaking up the online casino industry. Its games have done just that, and leverage intelligent maths and mechanics to deliver features such as the Reel Bombs mentioned above. But it’s the supplier’s Daily and Ceiling Jackpots that have really changed the game, launching Red Tiger into the top tier of developers.

Daily Jackpots were developed exclusively for Betfair ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament, launching as “Deadline Jackpots”. The odds of hitting the jackpot increased as the match progressed – towards the end it would turn hot, with a guaranteed pay out before the final whistle. Red Tiger actually took the concept from pitch to launch in six weeks.

Most of the online casino operators that offer Daily Jackpots do so under a separate tab, making Red Tiger one of very few suppliers to have its own dedicated game lobby, with the likes of Betfair, Paddy Power and Kindred Group brands such as Unibet and Bingo.com. This shows just how popular its Daily Jackpots have become with players.

Operators can also take Red Tiger’s unique in-game marketing platform, Smart Spins. This includes features such as progress bars, notifications and achievements to add significant value to the player’s experience. It stands as yet another example of how significantly Red Tiger has changed the game for slots development, and in such a short space of time.

Mobile

Red Tiger has developed in HTML5 from the get-go, meaning all its slots and table games are available on almost every smartphone and tablet device and operating system. Regardless of platform, players can expect the same stunning graphics and clear sound, as well as the flawless gameplay and unrivalled experience the developer has built its formidable reputation on.

It has gone to considerable lengths to ensure its games are fully optimised for play on smartphone and tablet devices, and that navigation and interaction is intuitive and natural. This can be seen in the layout of commands and menus within each game. The supplier has undoubtedly found the formula for mobile slots play, with around 70% of revenue coming through the channel.

Games

Red Tiger offers games across a variety of different themes, and boasting unique features and tools. Here at Jackpot.co.uk, we have played most of the supplier’s titles, and the three below are our favourites to get you started.

1. Arcade Bomb

Arcade Bomb takes the classic fruit-machine theme and launches it into space. The game has no bonus round, but does offer the supplier’s innovative Reel Bombs feature. Bombs appear as special reel symbols, and lock into place. There are four different bombs in total, with each having a different field of coverage. Bombs land with a number, which counts down with every spin. When the count hits zero they explode, and all the symbols in the blast pattern become identical. Any unexploded bombs in the field of coverage explode, too. This can lead to multiple detonations and wins of up to 1,000x the initial wager.

2. Dragon’s Luck

5×3 reel

20 pay lines

HTML5

Desktop and mobile

Four bonus rounds available

Dragon’s Luck is one for players who like Asian-themed slots. It is set against a temple backdrop, and reel symbols include lotus flowers, gold fish and numbers and letters written in calligraphy. The game provides bonus features including the Dragon Coin (which spins to reveal a secret symbol), the Mega Coin (a 3×3 symbol with guaranteed wins) and the 138 Mega Fortune Symbol (players can win up to 1,380x their stake). In addition, the dormant dragons wrapped around either side of the temple burst into life and breathe fire onto the reels, transforming sections of symbols so that they are the same.

3. Totem Lightning

Step onto the reservation in this Native-American-themed slot. The game boasts stunning visuals and an authentic soundtrack, as well as features that deliver big wins. The game is powered by a unique engine; after every winning spin, the successful A – 10 symbols are removed, as are all the other non-winning A – 10 symbols. New symbols drop into their place, and this repeats until there are no more wins. The game also comes with a Lightning Strike feature, which removes one of the lower value A – 10 symbols, and a multiplier that is triggered by landing three bonus symbols.

Conclusion

Red Tiger Gaming is on a winning streak right now; each game it releases is more refined than the last. By focusing on quality, and bringing genuine innovation to the table, its slots have become staples in the portfolios of most tier-one operators, as well as the new breed of lifestyle brands like Thrills and Rizk. Players are not only drawn to the mind-blowing graphics, but the state-of-the-art engines under the hood.

This can be seen in features such as Reel Bombs, but most notably its Daily Jackpots. This is the driving force behind Red Tiger’s popularity, the same that has seen it granted its own lobby with the likes of Betfair, Paddy Power, and Unibet. It is a major coup for the supplier, and very much sets it apart from its rivals – both in terms of the strength of its product but also its positioning within online casino sites.

Its success is very much on merit, and the Red Tiger team consists of some of the smartest people in the industry. The supplier says its sole aim is to continue to fine-tune the online casino experience for players, with its portfolio set to grow to in excess of one hundred titles by 2020. That’s no mean feat for a company that has just celebrated its third birthday.
